About Our School
It is an exciting time to be the Principal at Cesar Chavez Language Academy! It has been a lifelong dream of mine to be part of a new Two Way Bilingual Immersion Program! We hope you can come visit our special school, where we believe that every child can become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural! I have taught in Dual Immersion programs and have also been an Assistant Principal in a Two Way Immersion school. I mastered Spanish with an immersion experience. I have lived in Mexico several times during my life, studying at UNAM, working in orphanages in Oaxaca and Mexico City, as well as teaching in Monterrey. My children also attend a Dual Immersion program. I truly believe in the mission of Two Way Bilingual Immersion. It is an amazing gift to give your child the opportunity to become Bilingual, Biliterate, and Bicultural! I have very high standards for our school, and look at it through the lens of wanting the best for all children, as I would my own.
We are a TK-8th grade Two Way Bilingual Immersion (TWBI) School using the researched based 90/10 immersion model.
Currently, we are enrolled through fifth grade but plan on adding a grade every year until we reach the 8th grade.
Our Kindergarten students begin the program with 90% of their day in Spanish and 10% in English with a gradual increase of English instruction offered each year. All academic subjects are taught in Spanish (Reading, Writing and Math. In 4th grade, students begin formal literacy instruction in English. We support all students in a rigorous, highly focused educational environment that will prepare them for a future in higher education and a global workforce.
